Very well maintained clean and cozy. If your looking for break to chill in the country side with a hot tub. This is perfect. It's the small things that I loved. It was our Mini honeymoon and they brought us a card, flowers and prosecco. Also there was homemade scones with jam in a little glass jar and cream. We also had tea, Coffee, sugar and milk ready for us. There was black bags, dish soap and hand soap. Everything that you need is there. The best stay we've ever had and we will be returning. Thankyou Sarah and Rob for being the best hosts it means so much.

Communication from Sarah and Robert was amazing, we were left to our own devices, but knew they were on hand should we need them. Loved waking up to the horses every morning and watching the gorgeous night sky from the hot tub. Even our dog was thought of at the property with a dog box of treats and essentials. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property. Would highly recommend and return in the future.
